22 1/2" is not necessarily the norm for lap steels. Bobbe Seymour was explaining in the MSA SuperSlide-Off DVD that the shorter scale is often not used because in a lot of lap steel designs it cuts down on the sustain. The MSA uses the shorter scale because they did an exceptional job on engineering and the shorter scale makes for easier slants.
There are a lot of lap steels out there with the longer scale.

In my industry, we call that color "Blush" and it has been very popular for the past two years.
I apologize for a serious post. |

Hi Basil,
You know, I did make all the models in 22.85" when I had started. I rather like the shorter scale length myself, but all of my inquiries and custom orders have requested 25" After playing them both I can see why each has it's following. Of course I can do any scale length. Perhaps I'll run a few "shorties" soon. I hope to have the work shop tour up this weekend. I can't tell you how encouraging everyone has been. I hope to put a little something new pretty regularly on the site.
